United States of AmericaWhen we pulled up, we were in absolute awe of this location. Very majestic on a hill top over looking the endless fields for miles and miles. Out of all the hotels we stayed at in Italy, this is one we treasured the most. The ancient walls with a modern convenience were more than we expected. Some reviewers mentioned the dinning being pricy but you truly get what you pay for. Dinner was impeccable with an amazing view so it was very much with it. Book this place, you won’t regret it.

RomaniaFabolous location nested over a perfect position that dominates Val D'Orcia surroundings. The staff was super kind and accomplished all the requests we had. Rooms are quiet, charming, and modern with a lovely art sense. Olispa is a perfect mix of essential and luxury aligned with the uncontaminated nature of the area. It is definitely a great choice for a romantic and relaxing getaway.

United States of AmericaThe setting on top of that hill is magnificent. And so is the hotel - wonderfully renovated. The pools indoor and outdoors invite for long hours of relaxation, gazing over the Tuscan hills and the timeless surroundings only to climb out of the pool for a fabulous meal at the poolside restaurant.
